  1. Floorball Lesson Plan“Hand, Stick, Body & Ball” For beginning coaches and starting players By Coach Spike and Stijn (player model) Start Go To Go To Go To Unit 3 Unit 1 Info & Requirements Unit 2

  2. Back ground • Floorball is the largest sport at ISL • Students can participate as players, but also as coaches • It’s vital to be able to teach young, beginning players the fundamentals of the wonderful game • Hence Coaches need to be vigilant and focused on these fundamentals!! BACK NEXT

  3. This Lesson Plan • Will deal with some important fundamentals that need to be focused on • Unit 1 stick selection and hand positions; • Unit 2 Active Body Positioning • Unit 3 Ball position • There will be 11 interactive Q&A’s • This Lesson Plan feeds into the Shooting and Passing Lesson Plan which is the subsequent Floorball Lesson Plan. BACK NEXT

  4. Requirements • Adequate number of right handed and left handed sticks (on average 70% of players should normally play left handed) • At least two balls per player • Large white board, markers (three colors) and eraser • Paper and pencil for all players • Basic knowledge of the rules of Floorball BACK NEXT

  5. Start… • Having all the materials we can now start our 3 units on the Floorball Fundamentals. • Please use Paper and Pencil to write down: • Comments while answering the questions • Questions you might have during this presentation show • Input we can use to improve this presentation. • Good luck and Have Fun!!!! BACK NEXT

  6. Unit 1. Stick selection & Hand positioning • Crucial is for each player to have the correct stick • The proper length of the stick is determined by putting the stick in front of the player’s body. • With the blade on the ground the top of the grip should be in between the belly button and the sternum. BACK NEXT

  7. Unit 1. Stick selection & Hand Positioning (cnt’d) • Next is finding out whether the player is a right handed or a left handed shooter. • Normally the strongest hand/arm should be on the top of the grip so when playing one-handedly the player will have the best possible control. I.e. a right handed writer or tennis player will need to put the right hand on top and the left one half way down the shaft. This is a typical LEFT handed shooter. • A RIGHT handed shooter has the left hand on top and the right hand half way down the shaft. • As a result about 70-80% of all players will play as a LEFT handed shooter. (Even though they’ll be right handed writers or tennis players!!) BACK NEXT

  8. Q1. Stick selection • The blade should be curved with the end pointing in the forehand shot direction. • Is this a stick for a right handed player/shooter? YES NO BACK

  9. CORRECT!!! • Look from above the stick down on the shaft and blade. • When the blade curves to the left, the stick is for a RIGHT handed shooter. BACK NEXT

  10. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • Please look from above the stick down on the shaft and blade. • When the blade curves to the left, the stick is for a RIGHT handed shooter. BACK NEXT

  11. Q2. Stick selection • Would this be a stick for a left handed shooter? YES NO Prev. Q

  12. CORRECT!!! • Look from above the stick down on the shaft and blade facing away from you. • When the blade curves to the right, the stick is for a LEFT handed shooter. BACK NEXT

  13. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • Please look from above the stick down on the shaft and blade. • When the blade curves to the right, the stick is for a LEFThanded shooter. BACK NEXT

  14. Q3. Stick & Hands • Here we have a left hand shooting player. • Is everything regarding the stick and hand position correct? YES NO Prev. Q

  15. CORRECT!!! • You’ve noticed a problem. • The hands are well positioned, but on a right handed stick instead of one for a leftie!! BACK NEXT

  16. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • You thought all was OK, which is true for the hand position. • Please give this player a stick for left handed shooters as he’s currently using one for right handed shooters… BACK NEXT

  17. Q4. Stick and Hands • Here the same question for this right handed player. • The player says it doesn’t feel right! • Do you agree with him? YES NO Prev. Q

  18. CORRECT!!! • You’ve correctly noticed there’s an issue • Not with the hands, however…. • This right hand shooting player is using a LEFTIE stick!!! • Always look to correct this simple issue by handing out the proper stick. BACK NEXT

  20. Q5. Stick and Hands • Do you think this is the correct stick choice and hand positioning? YES NO Prev. Q

  21. CORRECT!!!! • You saw an issue: • His stick choice was correct for the right handed shooter he is. • Also the left hand was properly higher on the stick, however… • Both hands were too close together and way down the shaft. • Here you see him with the correct hand positioning. BACK NEXT

Sorry, INCORRECT!!!! • There’s still an issue: • His stick choice was correct for the right handed shooter he is. • Also the left hand was properly higher on the stick, however… • Both hands were too close together and way down the shaft. • Here you see him with the correct hand positioning. BACK NEXT

  23. Unit 2. Body Positioning • As in any sport coaches need to watch out for proper body positioning in Floorball. • To have the best possible result of the sporting effort. • Most importantly: to focus on the health of the player and prevent injuries!! • We are looking for: • “Active Body Positioning” (ABP). BACK NEXT

  24. Q6. Body Positioning • This player is really working on his Active Body Position. • However, his friend says he hasn’t achieved it yet. • Do you agree with the friend? YES NO Prev. Q

  25. CORRECT!!! • Indeed there’s an issue here: • The legs are too straight/stiff. They should always be slightly bended. • To • absorb the shocks • be as agile as possible. • allow better field of view from the eyes to look around BACK NEXT

  26. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • There’s a real issue here: • The legs are too straight/stiff. They should always be slightly bended. • To • absorb the shocks • be as agile as possible • allow better field of view from the eyes to look around BACK NEXT

  27. Q7. Body Positioning • Here we have a much better positioning with nicely bended knees. • Do you feel this would be proper Active Body Positioning? YES NO Prev. Q

  28. CORRECT!!! • Even though we have a much better positioning with nicely bended knees, there still is an issue. • The back is too straight, making the player too rigid/stiff in his movements. BACK NEXT

  29. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • Even though there’s a much better positioning with nicely bended knees, there still is an issue. • The back is too straight, making the player too rigid/stiff in his movements. BACK NEXT

  30. Q8. Body Positioning • Would this qualify as ABP (Active Body Positioning)? YES NO Prev. Q

  31. CORRECT!!! • Still no real ABP. • The back is fine, but: • the feet should be shoulder width apart and • the knees should be slightly bended as well. BACK NEXT

  33. Q9. Body Positioning • What about this position? • Would you qualify it as ABP? (Active Body Positioning) YES NO Prev. Q

  34. CORRECT!!! • Compare it with the previous positions and you’ll see the differences! • He’s ready to look around, accelerate, turn, shoot… anything! Very nice ABP!! BACK NEXT

  35. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • Compare it with the previous positions and you’ll see the differences! • He’s ready to look around, accelerate, turn, shoot… anything! Very nice ABP!! BACK NEXT

  36. Unit 3. Ball Position • We’ve looked at the stick selection, hand position of the hands on the stick and the Active Body Positioning. • Now let’s see how the position of the ball vs the body will influence everything. • Please look at the following questions and answer whether or not the ball is positioned correctly versus the body. BACK NEXT

  37. Q10. Ball Position • Is the ball in a position for the player to have good control over it? YES NO Prev. Q

  38. CORRECT!!! • You’ve spotted that the player can’t control the ball properly as it is • too close, pushing the stick into the body and • prevents Active Body Positioning!! • The ball should be further away from the player!! BACK NEXT

  40. Q11. Ball Position • Here the ball is further away as requested. • Is this giving the player proper control? YES NO Prev. Q

  41. CORRECT!!! • Clearly this is not helping from an ABP or ball control point of view. • The ball is too far away and the player can’t play properly. BACK NEXT

  42. Sorry, INCORRECT!!! • The ball is in a position which is not helping from an ABP or ball control point of view. • The ball is too far away and the player can’t play properly. BACK NEXT
